Where to Eat and Drink in Breckenridge this Fall

Autumn is a glorious time to be in Breckenridge. The aspens are turning to gold and the days are still mostly warm and sunny. Even better, local eating and drinking establishments are adding delicious fall specials to their menus.

Here are just a few of the offerings around town that take advantage of the bounty of the fall season.

Note: From Sept. 28 through Nov. 19, get insider deals at many local restaurants by purchasing the Breckenridge Fall Dining Passport. The passport is available at the Breckenridge Welcome Center and also at all participating restaurants.

Autumn Ale is a seasonal favorite, and this fall the brewery is offering a new twist on this dark, roasty beer: Chili Autumn Ale, brewed with Colorado chilis. Other experimental brews are in the works, too: Pineapple Gose, with a distinctive salty/tart flavor and a French style Pumpkin Saison will be available soon. $3/beer prices every day from 3-6 pm. 600 South Main Street.

BRECKENRIDGE DISTILLERY

Maple syrup aged in Breckenridge Bourbon barrels is a unique and delicious treat offered in limited quantities this fall at the Breckenridge Distillery. Try it on pancakes, ice cream – or better yet as an addition to your favorite fall cocktail. The mixologists at the Distillery have shared their secret recipe with us, for one of the local favorites The Breckenridge Breckfast. Tasting room is located at 137 South Main Street; Distillery is located at 1925 Airport Road.

THE CROWN

When we think of fall, we usually think of: Pumpkins! The Crown has just updated their menu to include delicious Pumpkin Scones. And if that’s not enough pumpkin for you, there’s also seasonal Pumpkin Ice Cream ( as well as Cinnamon Ice Cream) and Pumpkin Syrup to add to your lattes and cappuccinos! 215 South Main Street

PARK & MAIN

Sweet Potato Bruschetta is just one of the specials currently being planned at Park and Main. More specials to come soon, beginning September 28 with the Breckenridge Dining Passport. La Cima Mall, 500 South Main Street.
